Bill > HB97

This bill appropriates a total of $30,000,000 to the department of environmental services (DES), with $15,000,000 allocated for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, and another $15,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, to fund wastewater infrastructure projects that are approved by the DES under RSA 486 on or before June 30, 2026. These funds are designated as "nonlapsing," meaning they will remain available for use until they are spent and will not revert to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year. The bill also specifies that it will take effect on July 1, 2025, and the governor is authorized to draw warrants for these sums from the state treasury. The context for this appropriation is to support eligible wastewater projects, which are typically infrastructure improvements related to sewage treatment and disposal, and the state aid grant payments for these projects are expected to span twenty years or more.
